Sad news from the East Broad Top's facebook page:

We're sorry to report that Tom Holder, who was the East Broad Top's regular engineer until about 2008, died Thursday in Huntingdon at age 84. Mr. Holder, a longtime teacher and principal at the Mount Union Area High School, will be remembered at the EBT for, among other things, his unflappable demeanor and his graceful hand on the whistle cord.
